A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for reducing overhead associated with exporting remote objects. A session context is generated when a remote or local session is respectively established by a remote or local client with a bootstrap remote object. The session context is then determined to be either remote or local and marked accordingly. If the session context is marked as remote, then the bootstrap remote object is exported as remote objects. However, if the session context is marked as local, then the bootstrap remote object is not exported as remote objects. Instead, they are provided for use by the local client as non-exported remote objects.
